    DENT’S HISTORICAL AND Bv HORACE PIGGOTT, M.A., Ph.D. Volume One ' WORLD STUDIES 5s. Profusely Illustrated with Maps, Diagrams, Drawings and Photographs. INTRODUCTION TO “ WORLD STUDIES ” This Series aims at presenting in systematic and close sequence the development and present state of the world generally and its natural regions in detail. The treatment will endeavour to preserve some of the freshness and appeal of the interests mentioned, while steadily insisting upon a clear grasp of facts and principles. Full account will be taken of modern methods of teaching. The books should be such as the pupils will read for themselves and yet leave ample room for the impress of the teacher’s per¬ sonality. The more purely descriptive geography will be largely in the hands of the teacher, and many matters will be left open.! for class discussion. No book could, or should, exhaust the subject, but the chapters will be supplemented by brief notes where; necessary, and books for study and reference will be suggested. The Geographical Teacher says: The scheme is admirable, the execution hardly less so. The: amount of matter contained between the covers is wonderfully large, but the authors have, without doubt, succeeded in their aim to stir the imagination as well as store the mind. It does stir’ the imagination, vehemently and copiously. It cannot fail tot arouse the enthusiasm of the most phlegmatic boy. . . . The: volume under review is a fresh spring in the barren wilderness of modern geographies. For the boy it is a liberal education, for the teacher an unfailing tonic.” CONTENTS OF “WORLD STUDIES” The Wonders of the Heavens—The Force that Rules the Universe— The Earth in Motion: Day and Night, Time, Seasons—The Earth ini Motion: Position, Direction, Distance—the Birth and Infancy of the Part)!—Continents and Oceans—Ocean Studies: The Oceans—Mountains Building—Earthquakes—Volcanoes—Land Sculpture—The Book of the Rocks—Pages from the Book of the Rocks—The First Men on the Earth. —The Old Stone Age—The New Stone Age—The Bronze Age—Lessons from the Story of Prehistoric Man—Climate (a) Temperature and Tem¬ perature Changes—Climate (b) Winds—Climate (c) The World’s Raim _Plant and Animal Life on the Earth—Primitive Man and his Occu¬ pations—How Man Discovered the Earth: i.
